Show Millard Academy Trof. Baily who has spent the summer in Chicago studying music is home again; he was de lighted with the work he was able to get under some of the big music teachers connected with the University of Chicago. Prof. Howells and wife who went to Iowa to visit Mr. Howells' How-ells' parents after the close of the State University summer school, is also back and ready (or the opening of the Academy work next Monday. Prof. Huffaker and wife, still shaking rice from their curls and lair, alighted from the train the ither morning and are now cosi-1 cosi-1 settled in one of the Blake lomes for the winter. Prof. Eyre, the new athletic ins ruetor for the Academy, and Miss Gee reached Hinckley from the north Tuesday evening. Miss Marsden came in from the south the same evening. Prof. Woodward has made a very favorable impression on the music lovers of the vicinity and already he has quite a number of students asking for private instructions in-structions in voice and in piano. Principal McClellan has been very busy getting things ready for what promises to be the largest school in recent years in the county; he is enthusiastic jver the outlook for the school year.

At the latter place they will 'jkely be joined by all the other members of the faculty and perhaps some of the wives of the faculty menbers will also take a run up to the pleasant little Oak Creek ward for the pleasure of it. The Academy is planning again to handle text books for the students. When we know that more than $1300.00 worth of books were sold to the students last year with a total profit of $1.36 to the school, and that the students got all the advantage of the labor of handling the books and the profit, it may be seen that the amount of the students entrance fee is largely saved to him in this one item oi books. For the student fee which seems a little more expensive this year, there is promised at least twenty events including dances, lectures, entertainments, etc., so it may be seen that these high class educational events will be given to the students for about 121 cents each; certainly this is saving to the students in this direction. The Walters Stock Company have been billing to appear at the Academy for the first Friday evening of the school year; they promise an exceptional program and from their past performances in our vicinity, we can expect a lirst-class play.
